Nose

Big and concentrated with masses of rose hip syrup cut with fresh varnish. There's hints of camphor and incense along with plenty of dried fruits/Xmas pudding and prune.

Palate

Yes, there are big tannins on show but there's a balancing rich soft sweetness. Masses of liquorice and plenty of bruised black fruits.

Finish

Long, slightly bitter and powerful.

Comment

For sherry fiends certainly but it's certainly got balance.
